if he was good, he'd be kstate's find, like martin, not someone whose identity was formed elsewhere (this is pretty important to me, i understand that a lot of people could give a eff).
he has some experience in kansas and some connection to the martin era (don't recall exactly, but i remember his name, prolly saw it in tweets between him and the then staff or something).
he has a similar, though less impressive, resume as underwood's. head coach bouncing around jucos and low-majors, always successful (as far as i know), high-major assistant in good programs.
other coaches seem to like him.
